Cardiovascular events in cancer patients with bone metastases-A Danish population-based cohort study of 23,113 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The incidence of cardiovascular events among cancer patients with bone metastases is poorly understood. We examined rates of cardiovascular events among cancer patients with bone metastases and mortality following such events.

Methods

Using Danish health registries, we identified all Danish cancer patients diagnosed with bone metastases (1994-2013) and followed them from bone metastasis diagnosis. We computed incidence rates (IR) per 100 person-years and cumulative incidence for first-time inpatient hospitalization or outpatient clinic visit for cardiovascular events, defined as myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or venous thromboembolism (VTE). We also analyzed all-cause mortality rates including cardiovascular events as time-varying exposure with adjustme
